A Short and Sweet Thank You


This past Sunday night I had a chance to go see Skillet in concert along with Decyfer Down and Hawk Nelson. It was a great show and Jesus was proclaimed and lifted high. If you have never had the pleasure of seeing Skillet in concert, go, you'll be glad you did!

I don't know who this guy was, maybe the father of one the the students he was with, but he was with three kids who were in their late teens. I watched him bring them into the venue that the concert was being held at. I watched him as he participated and interacted with them. They were all dancing, jumping around and having a good time. The smiles on their faces were priceless!

I wanted to say thank you to him for teaching me a valuable lesson of serving, and self sacrifice. I'm sure the type of music that was being played was not quite his style. I'm also sure that it would have been much easier to stay home than to go through all the work it took to be there.

Next time I'm called to serve someone or sacrifice a little of myself, I'll think of this guy and the smiles on those students faces.

Oh yeah, all three of the students were blind.
